From the "please don't throw me in that there brier patch" department - Online headline/story: "Chiefs cut RB Kareem Hunt after TMZ releases video of him shoving and kicking woman * When action finally came, it was swift, including the Chiefs cutting Hunt, who led the NFL in rushing yards last season." -- You know, it doesn't really matter to the other 31 teams that Kansas City took corrective and absolute action... some of them have probably already contacted Hunt's agent with a better contract than he had with the Chiefs.

Online story: "Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on Friday responded to Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) calling on him to resign by attacking the lawmaker’s history of drinking. * “It’s hard for him to think straight from the bottom of a bottle,” Zinke wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “This is coming from a man who used nearly $50,000 in tax dollars as hush money to cover up his drunken and hostile behavior.” * Zinke is referring to a 2015 settlement that the House Employment Counsel paid to a Grijalva top staffer who accused the lawmaker of frequent drinking and creating a hostile work environment, as The Washington Times reported. * “[Grijalva] should resign and pay back the taxpayer for the hush money and the tens of thousands of dollars he forced my department to spend investigating unfounded allegations,” Zinke added. "-- Hmmm.. what Zinke should do is shut down a lane of a major road in Grijalva's District and post a sign that it will be fixed as soon as Grijalva repays the money he cost the taxpayers.

Have you seen the videos of the "caravan" of illegal aliens camped out on the Mexican side of the border? Unless you know better, you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference of illegal aliens encamped in Tijuana or San Francisco?

M/C L-E headline: "‘SOLID SOUTH’ SEEING A SHIFT * Midterms in region reveal marked urban, rural split" -- Good grief.. MSM-13 is trying so hard to make a lackluster Democrat mid-term election seem like a definitive trend! Facts are that in the House races, 5 uber-lib states had 500,000 more Democrat surplus votes than the 8.6 Million the Dems point out as an indicative "landslide result"..but in actuality, the other 45 states preferred Republican representatives. In fact, those 5 uber-lib states (CA, NY, IL, NJ,and MA have 102 Dem Representatives and only 18 Republican ones. One more point about GA's House election results.. the only "pick-up by the Dems was District 6 which was the highly targeted race Dems poured close to $40 MILLION in last year in a special election without success, and it will probably go back Republican in 2020 when a better Republican candidate runs. Oh.. and statewide in GA House races, Republicans took 52.2% versus Democrats getting but 47.7% so Democrats must find over 9% more voters to make any sort of dent in 2020.
